While the bike gets a long stroke 411 cc four stroke engine, just like other Royal Enfields, it just doesn’t have the trademark thump of its siblings.

The Himalayan has better specs than the next cheapest adv bike, the Kawasaki Versys. Priced at 1.55 lakh rupees, the bike is not only 4 times cheaper than the Kawasaki, but has better ground clearance (220 mm vs 170 mm), better suspension travel (front 200 mm vs 150 mm, rear 180 mm vs 145 mm), lower seat height (800 mm vs 840 mm) and lower kerb weight (182 kg vs 216 kg).

A 2-month waiting period pan-India means that the bike is very accessible. This comes as a cherry on top of the cake, as affordable Royal Enfields are notorious for having super long waiting times. The Classic 350 used to have 9-month waiting periods. Thankfully, this is not the case with this adventure tourer.

The bike has some very interesting features. How about a compass? Yes, a digital compass sits on the instrument cluster, and so does an ambient temperature gauge. Other standard features include hazard lamps and an LED parking light.
